Zero Trust PAM
cyberelements Privileged Access Management Solution | Zero Trust PAM for IT/OT, Remote access and Managed Services including AD-tiered architecture
cyberelements Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution is a security solution that significantly strengthens IT systems’ protection against cyber malware. PAM makes it possible to secure access to your most critical resources/applications by your most privileged users (IT administrators, privileged users, etc.).
It allows you to define administration access to resources by monitoring accounts used to authenticate, and by tracking in detail all actions. The level of control and traceability is adapted to the criticality of intervention context. Administration actions are carried out via protocol access to a server (RDP, SSH, Web, etc.) or by using an administration application. The power to administer resources is a major risk to your organization’s operations, which the PAM solution drastically reduces.
Customer story
The cyberelements PAM solution is not only a key element in our process of obtaining ISO 27001 and HDS certifications, but it also allows us to monitor all administrative actions and thus ensure that there are no data leaks, which can be extremely damaging in the health sector where data is sensitive by its very nature.

Privileged Access Management Use Cases
Detailed traceability of access and advanced research
You need to know at all times who has accessed what, when and what has been done. cyberelements Privileged Access Management solution traces all access and provides a recording feature that marks out videos so you can easily search through all audit trails and videos.
Overcoming employee rotation challenges
When administrators leave for another department or organization, they sometimes keep administration passwords. cyberelements automatically injects passwords instead of administrators, meaning there is no need to share any password with your admins. Access to sensitive operations is only possible through cyberelements, giving you complete control over your privileged users activities.
Securing access to industrial infrastructure
Industrial infrastructures are generally based on a wide variety of heterogeneous applications and equipment. cyberelements PAM solution provides partitioned access to these OT infrastructures. The solution leverages the IT PAM features (secure tunnel, video recording, compliance check…) to secure OT access. It enables you to have partitioned access between IT and OT environments within the same solution.
Securing your environment from third parties’ access (Remote PAM)
Your third parties need to securely connect to your IT systems, and you need to provide solution that protect both your and their environments. cyberelements offers the necessary and sufficient range of tools: multi-factor authentication (MFA), Zero Trust access (granular with protocol break), no credentials disclosure, clientless web access (HTML5), etc.
As a managed service provider (MSP), securing access across your multiple clients is essential.
“PAM for MSPs” ensures that service providers operate within a highly secure environment, allowing them to securely connect to their clients’ resources.
With its native Zero Trust access, cyberelements eliminates the need for a VPN when accessing client resources.
When a VPN remains mandatory due to client requirements, cyberelements Privileged Access Management solution simplifies operations by seamlessly managing multiple VPNs, reducing complexity and operational complexity.
Effortlessly Meeting regulatory and security audit challenges
Organizations need to comply with various regulations (GDPR, NIS2, TISAX, DORA…) and certifications (ISO27xxx, HIPAA…), which cyberelements helps you achieve seamlessly.
Additionally, the solution saves you valuable time during audits and simplifies compliance with security assessments.
PAM solution in AD-tiered environments
Several cybersecurity agencies recommend structuring Active Directory (AD) in a three-tier architecture. These tiers separate IT system machines into three isolated silos, preventing administrators from moving between them using the same workstation.
cyberelements ensures PAM implementation while natively adhering to AD-Tiering principles. It enables secure access to the Privileged Access Workstation (PAW) without inbound RDP traffic, using the administrator’s Kerberos token for authentication.
